Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
The primary point for negotiation is the current state of the tyres; the May 2026 MOT identifies the nearside front as worn and cut, and both rear tyres as perishing. These will likely require immediate replacement. You should also factor in the eventual replacement of the front lower suspension arm pins and bushes, which were noted as worn on both sides.
Ensure you verify the service history to see if the hybrid system has been checked regularly, as the MOT record only confirms roadworthiness. Given the low mileage, check that the vehicle has not spent excessive periods stationary, which can sometimes affect battery health in hybrids.
Equipped with a 1497cc hybrid engine, this Yaris is designed for high fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions, which typically results in lower annual road tax. Insurance groups for this model are generally low, making it an economical choice for urban driving.
Typical maintenance for this model is modest, although the recent MOT suggests a forthcoming spend on tyres and suspension components. The estimated annual running cost is relatively low compared to non-hybrid alternatives in this class.
Prioritise an inspection of the tyres, specifically looking for the cracking and perishing on the rear tyres and the cut on the nearside front tyre mentioned in the 2026 MOT. Check the front lower suspension arms for any movement, as both the nearside and offside pins or bushes were flagged as worn.
These specific issues align with aggregate data for the Yaris, where tyres are listed as one of the top MOT failure reasons. Ensure the headlamps are clear and functioning correctly, as these are another common failure point for this model.
This blue 2018 Toyota Yaris Hybrid has recorded 37,373 miles, which is below the model average. It has successfully passed five MOT tests since its first registration in May 2018. However, the most recent test in May 2026 flagged several advisories regarding tyre condition and suspension wear.
The Yaris has a solid reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 79.9%, though tyres and headlamps are frequent points of failure.
